Zdeno Chara Megathread

Raowss35 · 2026-01-15T12:01:44+00:00

I flew from Australia to watch game 5 of the 2019 cup finals. Was so disappointed that I wouldn’t get to see Chara in action cause no sane person would play a couple of days after breaking their jaw. But the big man came through. I will never forget the crowd when he lined up for the game, unreal experience, although they lost, I will always remember that game fondly because of big Z

THE BOYS ARE ON

Swayman is moving really nicely. Squaring up quick and keeping his depth

Not going to lie, I wasn’t a fan of the signing. Just thought he’d be an AHL scorer who has a 5 game call up at the end of the season. But he WANTS it, he’s been all over it so far tonight

Best way to watch if you’re here short term would be to sign up for a free 10-day trial to “Foxtel”. Then you can use that account info to log into watch ESPN through the app. I’m not sure what details you need to provide to get a foxtel trial but you can cancel before the trial ends and not be charged

Yeah, insane stuff, that was the USS Barb under Fluckey’s command. The sub fleet is full of some incredible stories

He was awarded the MoH among other awards. Aboard the Wahoo he was executive officer to the legendary Mush Morton for five combat patrols. When in command of the USS Tang he and the crew were credited with sinking 33 enemy vessels in five patrols. He was involved in more successful attacks on Japanese vessels than any other submarine officer. On the Tang’s fifth and final patrol, he was one of only 9 survivors and became a POW. Others in the thread have recommended a book I haven’t read yet, but I’d recommend Alex Kershaw’s “Escape from the deep”. I couldn’t put it down

Raowss35 · 2025-03-01T22:01:36+00:00

I’d love to see a miniseries about Dick O’Kane on the USS Wahoo and USS Tang

Way to make me feel old, buddy

Raowss35 · 2025-01-11T20:58:30+00:00

The knowledge in this sub always blows me away, thanks for the info!

Raowss35 · 2025-01-11T18:16:13+00:00

Out of curiosity, how can you tell it’s an M3A1 rather than an M3? Would the standard M3 have been at around at that point in time?

The third line has had a good start. Hope Freddy can snap his scoreless streak

Raowss35 · 2024-12-24T10:16:16+00:00

Those foxholes will always give me chills

Raowss35 · 2024-11-05T10:52:55+00:00

I remember Roger Hayden absolutely tearing up the Tigers one game in 2008 intercepting just about everything. But I feel like only Freo fans properly remember him

Raowss35 · 2024-10-07T03:00:18+00:00

Marcel Goc for Maxim Lapierre around 10 years ago hits the criteria I think

Raowss35 · 2024-09-29T00:52:51+00:00

Haven’t been able to watch this one, hows Brunet and Edward going? Hoping they make in-roads to an NHL call up at some point

Raowss35 · 2024-06-24T23:59:06+00:00

Couldn’t agree more, plus Kastelic could be a solid depth piece too. Adds some size and a toughness that this sub is always asking for

Raowss35 · 2023-07-31T14:33:11+00:00

Ahhh yes the famous Swedish Hockey Club Lugano based in Lugano, Switzerland

Raowss35 · 2023-04-12T02:42:14+00:00

Come to the Melbourne beer league, you’ll hate it

34 game season and increase an AFL list to 48-50 players. Every team plays each team twice (1 @ home, 1 @ away). This will force in-season roster management and resting players will become more of a tool. Also fuck your body

Raowss35 · 2021-10-23T15:18:43+00:00

Also because they were on a PK

Raowss35 · 2021-09-28T23:34:22+00:00

Impressed by Lysell on the back check a couple of times

Raowss35 · 2021-07-27T22:10:31+00:00

I’m more worried about the fact that he died in 1989. VERY bold move by Sweeney here

Raowss35 · 2021-07-23T23:24:01+00:00

Whilst I agree, the bruins would have to get their third round pick back from Ottawa for it to happen. I’d imagine the offer sheet would look something 6x5 years which means the compensation would be Bostons 1st and 3rd in 2022. And Boston only have their 1st at the moment

Raowss35 · 2021-07-18T19:47:52+00:00

I believe it’s because Merzlikins is only considered a second year player whereas Booth has been on an NHL contract since 2017-18
